Black vs. White

Hi all!

Today's nails are brought to you by the colors BLACK and WHITE! I also have a tutorial video on YouTube so check it out if you want to see how I created this design.

For this design I used the following:

Base Coat- Beauty Secrets
White Polish- Finger Paints Paper Mache
Black Polish- Orly Liquid Vinyl
Glitter- Kiss Nail Art Paint in Silver Glitter
Top Coat- Beauty Secrets

I also used some rhinestones to bling it up but those are of course optional (you could always use a really nice bright polish that you have as an accent).

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy design and check out the tutorial linked below!

Peace, Love & Don't forget your top coat!

Va Va Velvet Nails

Velvet Nails
Happy New Year Everyone!

I finally did it! I uploaded my first nail tutorial video to YouTube!

Follow this link to check it out: http://youtu.be/5Alse1m6T-8

I'm hoping to post 1 video per week. Mostly easy nail art tutorials, Q&A, that sort of thing.

For this design I used:

- Beauty Secrets Base Coat
- China Glaze Polish in Frostbite
- Lose Velvet (can be found at most craft stores, I got mine at Michael's)

It's important to pick a polish that is close in color to your velvet, if you don't it will be very noticeable and almost make the velvet look dirty (for lack of a better word).

Hope you like this technique and the tutorial. Keep emailing me requests or leave me a comment on  YouTube! But remember, it's my first upload so please be kind :)

Peace, Love, & Don't forget your top coat!
